UNTITLED GALLERY+STUDIO//2025
Return is a more process-driven work developed through wax and stencil methods that excavate or cut back to a revealed surface. The work explores repetition, removal, residue, and the layered temporality of inscription, allowing the image or text to emerge through acts of return that are materially complicated.
The title names both a gesture and a condition: to return to a surface, to return to a mark, to return to a method, and to return to the text through repetition and reworking. The text itself is an edited fragment removed from the final exegesis; a proposed concluding line that needed to live poetically elsewhere.

Research Relation
Within the broader project, Return represents a more materially focused strand of the research. It foregrounds surface, excavation, and repetition as inscriptive processes.
As part of the final exhibition context, the work also signals forward directions in the research, particularly in relation to wax, stencil, and the ongoing development of surface-focused methods.
